Convert horsepower (metric) to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) [hp (metric)] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to horsepower (metric).
1 hp (metric) = 7.3550e+14 pW. To convert horsepower (metric) to picowatt, multiply the value by 7.3550e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 1.3596e-15 hp (metric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp (metric) = 7.3550e+14 pW
- 1 pW = 1.3596e-15 hp (metric)
- 10 hp (metric) = 7.3550e+15 pW
- 100 hp (metric) = 7.3550e+16 pW
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) to Picowatt
1 hp (metric) = 735498750000000 pW
Example: convert 15 hp (metric) to pW:
15 hp (metric) = 15 × 735498750000000 pW = 1.103248125e+16 pW

Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
